Lying Paul Ryan's Unflinching Dishonesty

      Ryan has surpassed Romney again, in rank dishonesty. It's quickly become the consensus that with all the Republican hacks trying to make this speech something unprecedented, indeed it was, in it's shocking disdain for the facts.

     We know what Mitt Romney and his friends think about facts: they don't matter. If the only way they can win is by making things up and blowing the racial dog whistle, Mitt Romney has no problem with this. And why should it? His entire time in politics since 1994 shows an unprecedented level of rank dishonesty and lack of integrity.

     Many politicians flip flop but Romney contradicts himself within the same sentence. He hit a new high water mark on Fox News when he both told women to vote for him because he passed ObamaCare while also in the same breath vowing to repeal ObamCare his very first day in office.

    Ryan has fit right in with this mendacious, intellectually bankrupt environment.

    " Before Rep. Paul Ryan left the stage Wednesday night at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, journalists took to Twitter for some real-time fact-checking."

     "Soon after, several media outlets, including The Huffington Post, called attention to misleading statements from Ryan's speech. The New Republic's Jonathan Cohn asked if it was the most dishonest convention speech" ever. New York's Dan Amira described it shortly before midnight as "appallingly disingenuous and shamelessly hypocritical," with his colleague Jonathan Chait -- who claims to have "the equivalent of a master’s degree in Ryan lie-ology" -- later calling out the Republican candidate for "brazen dishonesty."
At around 12:15 a.m., the Associated Press hit the wire with a piece detailing "factual shortcuts" on issues like Medicare, economic stimulus, and the closing of a GM plant in his hometown of Janesville, Wis."

     Lying Paul Ryan. It rhymes. It doesn't only rhyme. However, there is at least one promise Mitt Romney keeps-the promise to not let himself worry about fact-checkers:

     "Yesterday, at an ABC News panel, Mitt Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said, “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.” Wednesday’s speech from Paul Ryan certainly took that disdain for truth to heart, as his address was filled with falsehoods from start to finish."

      John Notle over at Breitabrt's site-the capital of yellow journalism-serves us a warning about the kind of campaign Romney intends to run when he declares that "Era of Media Fact Checkers Intimidating Republicans is Over"

      From now on the Republicans have no choice but to lie blatantly and hope for public ignorance. What they never can afford is an honest look at the facts.
